"Probability?"

"No, there are no probabilities, it's not a matter of probability of rolling the dice." The old cat shook his head, "We can't accurately estimate the crash time of the space station, just because we don't know its detailed orbital parameters, if the system on the space station doesn't collapse, I can make its crash time accurate to the minute...... Tang Yue, this is not gambling, life and death have been determined at the moment of the accident, but we don't know. ”

Tang Yue was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what the old cat meant, what they were facing was not a dice that was still spinning at the bottom of the cup, but a result that had already been determined.

They don't know just because they're blind.

Inexplicably, Tang Yue remembered Schrödinger's cat.

If you don't observe, then you don't know if the cat is alive or dead.

But the joint space station is not the same as the cat in the superimposed state, according to Copenhagen's explanation, the cat in the black box is actually both dead and alive, and only the observer can make its state collapse to one of the two results, and the life and death of the space station have long been determined, whether anyone observes it or not, even if Tang Yue blindfolds his own eyes and blindfolds the eyes of the old cat, it will crash at a certain point in time.

The old cat watched the SPT276 work fluid slowly run out, pushed the table hard, and the seat retreated away from the computer monitor.

"From now on, we have lost all means of interfering with the Joint Space Station, we can't do anything." The old cat shook his head, "There is nothing to do in the true sense of the word, even if it crashes tomorrow, we can only watch...... It's late at night, so let's all go and rest. ”

"Roger." Mai Dong replied, "Mr. Cat." ”

The old cat drooped his ears and walked to the charging socket in the corner step by step, and Tang Yue grabbed it.

"There's no way to do it?"

"It's gone." The old cat glanced at him, "It's really gone this time, no matter how fast your brain turns, it's useless, little clever ghost." ”

From a certain point of view, Tang Yue and the old cat can calm down, they don't have to be nervous, they don't have to be anxious, they don't have to panic, and they don't even have to make any more efforts, because it's useless to struggle hard, there is always hope to be anxious, and there is a possibility of success to struggle, and the ground has lost all means of interfering with the joint space station, and now the only thing that can contact the space station is radio waves.

The old cat broke free from Tang Yue's hand and walked to the corner of the wall to silently plug himself.

"Is it really impossible to do anything?" Tang Yue asked loudly, "We always have something that can be done?" There's always something we can do! ”

"Eat and sleep and beat Doudou."

The old cat turned his head to look at Tang Yue, and the former's indifferent and cold eyes made Tang Yue's heart chill.

Those cat's eyes seemed to say: On what basis do you think that hope is eternal?

"Mai Dong."

"Huh?"

"Don't listen to the old cat's nonsense, it's just a complete collection of negative thoughts and defeatists, you can wait for rescue in peace, Tianzhou 37 will arrive in ten days, and the space station will definitely last until that time." Tang Yue said, "It's only been ten days, and the United Space Station has been operating safely in orbit for more than ten years, and it is not bad for the last ten days." ”

"But Mr. Cat said that the space station will last for seven days at most."

"It's seven to eleven days." Tang Yue corrected word by word, "It's not seven days at most, the meaning of these two sentences is very different......

"I know." "But I think Mr. Cat has a point, not all problems have a solution, there are not so many miracles in this world, and the goddess of fate will not favor you again and again." ”

"How did the damn goddess of luck ever visit us?" Tang Yue took off his shoes, shrunk his feet on the chair, and hugged his knees, "What do you mean?" The launch docking of the Eagle lander? That's three points of heaven, and seven points are destined to rely on hard work, okay? It has nothing to do with Lady Luck, and if it weren't for me carrying an antenna outdoors in the storm, the Eagle spacecraft would have known where it would have flown to.

As for the comet Tomcat-Tang-Mai...... It wouldn't have landed on Mars in the first place, we got nervous purely because we miscalculated Phobos' orbit, the culprit was the old cat and its workstation, in fact the star couldn't hit our eight poles, no matter what time our dice rolled, it wouldn't fall. ”

Tang Yue muttered, he really felt that he was unlucky, and the ghost of the god of bad luck would not disperse, but he immediately understood why the average life expectancy of humans in the Stone Age was only twenty years old.

Under the conditions of extremely harsh living environment and extreme lack of resources, any inconspicuous small problem will develop into a big problem, and being scratched by a knife in modern times is at most a trip to the hospital for two stitches, but in ancient times, it may cause tetanus or fatal infection.

Tang Yue's living conditions were even worse than those of the cave people in the Stone Age.

Although there is little chance of infection from internal and external injuries at Kunlun Station, if Tang Yue unfortunately falls and fractures, then he will basically live to the end.

"We're really using our lives to test and practice Murphy's Law." Tang Yue smiled bitterly.

"Murphy's Law?"

"Yes, it's the famous, or notorious, 'as long as there is a chance that a problem will occur, then no matter how small the probability is, it will inevitably happen', and in the field of aerospace technology, it is 'any technical risk can be transformed from a possibility into a sudden accident'." Tang Yue explained, "If anything can go wrong, it will, the law of the crow's beak known to engineers all over the world." ”

"I think there's another law." Wheat Dong supplemented.

"What law?"

"Mr. Cat...... Not on the sidelines, right? ”

"Old cat?" Tang Yue turned his head to take a look, the old cat had curled up into a ball and entered the charging and dormant, his face buried in his front paws, and his ears drooped, "It's asleep." ”

"Mr. Cat's FLAG Law." Mai Dong said, "As long as Mr. Cat sets the FLAG, it will definitely come true in the end." ”

"Makes sense." Tang Yue slapped his head, "I know why the earth disappeared!" ”

Mai Dong was stunned, "Why?" ”

"Because the old cat said before that its service life has reached and it is about to be retired, one day when we chatted, it said to us, 'After this Mars scientific mission, I will go back to my hometown on Earth to get married'." Tang Yue explained, "So FLAG came true and reversed the law of cause and effect, it was nothing, but the earth was gone." ”

Mai Dong burst out laughing.

"It doesn't matter if we say bad things about Mr. Cat?"

"Don't worry." Tang Yue said, "Once the old cat starts charging, it sleeps more than anyone else." ”

He turned his head to look at the old cat again, the white and fat cat had turned into a big fluffy ball, and even had a tendency to flow to the floor, the cat was really liquid, round when it was round, flat when it was flat.

"Mai Dong, how are you going to sleep tonight?"

"How else can I sleep?" The girl breathed a sigh of relief, "I just slept in the spacesuit, and I didn't dare to take off the cabin suit." ”

Only the Crystal module is still working on the United Space Station, which is not a place to rest, but Mai Dong can only settle down.

Tang Yue got up, turned off the lights in the hall, and entered the crew compartment to prepare to rest, he was also very tired.

"Hmm...... Tang Yue. ”

"Huh?"

"It's so uncomfortable to sleep like this." Mai Dong closed his eyes, and opened them again after a few minutes, "I can't sleep at all, can you talk to me?" ”

"Okay." Tang Yue fell headlong on the bed, hugged the soft pillow, and closed his eyes, "What do you want to talk about?" I'll be with you ......"

Tang Yue's voice slowly lowered, and soon the sound of even and deep breathing came, obviously Tang Yue fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed, he was extremely tired, and his mental and physical strength were at the limit.

Mai Dong listened to the breathing in the channel and stopped talking, the sun was setting on the horizon, and it would be a short night, but she didn't know if she could see the sun rising again after the night had passed.
